Présentation de l'éditeur
Author has endeavored to give to the following Treatise as little of a controversial character as he could, consistently with the object which he had in view. Truth stands opposite to error ;and to make their contrast seen and felt, it is sometimes desirable to present both. To this, the Author has been almost resistlessly led by the force of circumstances; and it will be readily perceived that the considerations, which induced him to present what he conscientiously believed to be erroneous views on the subject which he has treated, bound him, at the same time, to present them, not in his own, but in the language of their advocates. He hiL ,however, endeavored to quote fairly, and has honestly sought to put the Theories, which he opposes, in a light whicli tlieir advocates must acknowledge to be jiist: and, having done this, he has busied himself with those Theories, and not with the men who hold them. A gainst their views he has spoken strongly: against the men he has said nothing.
